Who says something functional can't be fun? Well, you can't get much more functional than an airline sick bag, so we decided it was time to inject a little creativity into this familiar item.

We teamed up with multimedia designer Oz Dean [www.forcefeedswede.com] who has been running an online competition called "Design For Chunks" for the last three years challenging designers from around the world to apply their creative talents to theis undiscovered art form.

A meeting of minds led to Virgin Atlantic partnering with Oz Dean for the 2004 competition. Hundreds of entries were received from around the world, from which we've chosen 20 designs to appear on our inflight sick bags which will be randomly distributed on every flight for a limited period.

We hope you find the designs fun and interesting - who knows, you might even be tempted to start collecting the whole set!

This is by far the largest bag in the collection put out by none other than Virgin Atlantic. If you look at the 3rd scan, you'll see a 16" / 40 cm measuring device to show you just how big this bag is.

Virgin Atlantic posted these around several cities as an attention getting device to coax passers-by to read the advertising copy on the bag, which I suggest you do. It goes off on all sorts of tangents about civility of air travel and how it has changed over the years. It even mentions air sickness bag collectors.

Great bag and definitely worth a read.

This bag is the Know Your Lightsaber bag in the 4 part limited edition. It says,

Jedi Council Appproved

KNOW YOUR LIGHTSABER

The lightsaber is an elegant weapon. Not nearly as clumsy or random as a blaster, it has been carried by Jedi Knights for over a thousand years. It is respected and feared, as are those who wield it. However, if you've never taken a lightsaver into combat it can be a little tricky. Please take time to familiarize yourself with the weapon.

This bag is the Seating Jedi and Sith bag in the 4 part limited edition. It whimsically shows the layout of an airplane with the Jedi on the left side of the plane and the Sith on the right side. The bag goes on to say:

IMPORTANT... It is advised that all cabin crew familiarise themselves with the rules when seating individuals who have aligned themselves on the Light or Dark sides of the Force. This is never a simple task, but with a little care and attention you should be able to avoid conflict and maintain a happy cabin at all times.

This bag is The Art of Jedi Combat bag in the 4 part limited edition. The bag begins as follows:

The art of Jedi combat is not something that should be entered in to lightly. Often severly outnumbered and outgunned, the Jedi are renowned for their ability to quickly and efficiently dispatch muyltiple enemies at once. Before you throw yourself into a combat situation, please review the following.

The bag then explains various battle techniques which you'll just have to view the scan to see.
